Winning two bracelets in one year at the World Series of Poker would be a near impossible task for any poker professional, with the record-breaking fields of recent years. But, 21-year-old college student Jeff Madsen, from Los Angeles, California, completed this task at the 2006 WSOP. His incredible run launched him into poker fame when he won the $2,000 no-limit hold’em and $5,000 shorthanded events. He is the youngest player ever to win a WSOP bracelet. He also made two other final tables in Omaha eight-or-better and seven-card stud eight-or-better, showing his range in poker talent. He already has accumulated $1,559,492 in tournament winnings, which is significantly more than the $9,500 he convinced his parents to loan him for his WSOP buy-ins. Madsen hopes to prove that he is not a fluke. He is currently a member of the Full Tilt pros and is finishing his senior year at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
